<h1>Customize Code Dialog Box (Swing GUI Builder)</h1>
<a name="BEGIN" id="BEGIN"></a>
<p>Use to customize the way that code is generated for a component in the GUI Builder and to insert custom code within the GUI Builder's guarded blocks.

</p>
<p>In the Initialization Code section of the dialog box, you can type code before and after the generated initialization and creation code.</p>
<p>You can also replace a section of the generated code with your own custom code. Select a custom option from the drop-down list next to the section of code. Then type your custom code in place of the generated code.</p>
<p>In addition, you can set the way the variable is generated for the component.</p>
<p><b>Note</b>: You can also customize code for specific properties by clicking the ellipsis (...) button in the property sheet for a component. Customizing code this way in the property sheet has the advantage of more closely associating the custom code with the property, which makes the code easier to maintain.</p>
